Chances for a Tizen Smartphone Entry

Bada Overreach

Nevertheless, cracks may be appearing in Tizen's developer tech armor
due to decisions relating to overreach of a scheduled Bada migration.
An industry insider refuses cooperation in this area, saying instead "I
am not going to be the guy who is asked why is Bada used now instead of
EFL?", clearly fearing that Tizen's pristine and future-proof
architecture may be infected with legacy Bada logic.

The planned Bada migration to Tizen is
a recent policy development and is dynamic in nature. Some
fear a future overreach when integrating Bada logic.

Market Trend Analysis

High-ranking corporate policy-makers happily state their optimism
of the approaching Tizen smartphone market entry. Samsung executive
VP Jong-Deok Choi expresses his assurance that, "We have very high
expectations", and "Tizen is very real." But what strategy is behind
the policy of strong industrial support for Tizen's rollout? To
understand the various corporate strategies involved in shaping
Tizen's future, as well as obtaining a realistic interpretation of
Tizen's environmental market trends, informed opinions by diverse
analysts give added value.

We ask if Samsung could be using Tizen as a hedge against Android's ever-growing
market dominance, leading OEMs and chip-makers to play cat and
mouse in adapting to the fragmented and controlling Android platform.
Analysts do speculate along these lines that since Google acquired
Motorola Mobility, Samsung and other smartphone manufacturers would be
seeking alternatives to Google's Android. Android could become the
preferred platform for Motorola, which likely would put competing
manufacturers at a disadvantage.

Analysts at Gartner, IDC and Strategy
Analytics are keeping a watchful eye on Tizen and its
competitors. Some forecast an increased market share at
Android's expense.

Gartner Figures

Gartner's latest figures put Android's market share at nearly 75% of
world-wide smartphone adoption. "With new OSes coming to
market, such as Tizen, Firefox and Jolla, we expect some market share to
be eroded but not enough to question Android's volume leadership",
states Gartner principal research analyst Anshul Gupta.

IDC Research

Indeed, as Android adoption has shot sky-high, a number of new mobile
platform contenders have lined up to compete. IDC mobile-phone research
manager Ramon Llamas and IDC worldwide quarterly mobile-phone tracker
senior research analyst Kevin Restivo remark that "This is shaping up
to be a pivotal year for the open-source operating system, as multiple
platforms, including Mozilla, SailFish, Tizen and Ubuntu are expected
to introduce or launch their first smartphones in the coming months."

Strategy Analytics

Strategy Analytics analyst Scott Bicheno continues, "Android will
remain the dominant smartphone OS for the next few years, but its share
will peak in 2013, while the global share of iOS is unlikely to grow
much further so long as Apple maintains its premium-tier-only strategy.
While Microsoft's market share will remain small in 2013, it will emerge
as the clear third-placed platform by 2017, with BlackBerry leading a
chasing pack that will include the nascent smartphone platforms: Tizen,
Firefox OS, Ubuntu and Sailfish."

Other Opinions

But while Samsung has profited nicely from its widespread Android
integrations, some analysts have criticized it for failing to innovate.
Using Google's software is leading to a risky dependence on the software
giant's technology even after its strategic acquisition of Motorola's
mobile division, a direct competitor to Samsung. They reason that Tizen
enjoys additional support due to these market developments. "Samsung has
grown up and is playing as the big guy, moving away from Android", says
Gartner Mobile Devices Research VP analyst Carolina Milanesi.

Kevin Burden, an analyst at Strategy Analytics, agrees that Samsung
is motivated to distance itself from Android for this reason but also
partly because it wants greater control over the operating system in its
phones. "It almost feels like Samsung is trying to set up Tizen as its
next OS instead of Android", he says.

Operator and Service Provider Tactics

Vice President of Yandex Labs Juggs Ravalia puts forth the theory
that many corporate heavyweights (especially operators) in the Tizen
Association are worried about lock down in Android APIs and want to
free their technology from difficulties circumventing Google-dictated
services like Maps. While standing to benefit strategically from
both added development freedom and a Tizen success, operators like NTT
Docomo have confirmed that Tizen is a very operator-friendly
platform.

Orange (France Telecom)

This bodes well for the multinational operator Orange. According
to Frédéric Dufal, Technical Director of Orange Devices and Vice
Chairperson of the Tizen Association, the launch of Orange's first
Tizen device will occur in select European markets at the end of
summer 2013 with more devices coming at later launch dates.

But Orange is not just interested in the traditional smartphone markets,
rather "I hope Tizen someday will be delivering great stuff for emerging
markets and especially Africa, and Orange is very active there", says
Mr Dufal.

In fact, although Orange and France Telecom have strong commercial
representation in many African countries due to historical French
trade relations, they share a second commercial interest in meeting
demand for less-expensive smartphone technology served by competing
multinational operators like Telefonica with their Firefox OS handsets.
Should either or both such efforts succeed, then mobile users in emerging
markets win in the end, but what does this mean for Tizen? Mr Dufal
answers, "We hope that in the longer term, we can use Tizen to
democratize the access to the Internet and to smartphones in emerging
markets especially in Africa and the Middle East, where not everybody
can afford the fancy smartphones." His words could resonate
with users in expense-reduced hardware markets producing the likes of
OLPCs and Raspberry Pis.

Orange has announced a forthcoming Tizen
handset offering. Its end of summer rollout will include
popular Orange services leveraging Tizen's superb HTML5 support.

Yandex and Big Data

Internet companies like Yandex are turning to Tizen for its help in
solving problems with and improving cutting-edge developments like
navigation, assisted transportation searches and in vehicle
infotainment (IVI.) According to Vice President of Yandex Labs Juggs
Ravalia, Tizen could serve as a platform for a new generation of
services only possible through the innovative combination of big
data and free software APIs like those provided by Tizen.

Automobile Industry and IVI

It's no surprise that Yandex is working on transportation-relevant
network services. According to Senior Technical Specialist for
infotainment systems at Jaguar Land Rover Matt Jones, "uptake of HTML5
in vehicles is going through the roof", and that "Linux is running in
over a million vehicles already." Mr Jones goes on to state the utility
and consumer thirst for rich IVI systems, for which Tizen is a perfect
platform match.
